Mother Nature provides the ultimate inspiration for these finely attuned composers. Beethoven's Sixth Symphony strolls through the Austrian countryside, Dvořák visits the tranquil Bohemian forests, and Florence Price envisions the grasslands of the American South. On the wilder side, Rimsky-Korsakov weaves a tale of the raging sea, and Mexico's Arturo Marquéz reimagines an ancient fire ritual.
